Israelis, Palestinians march for West Bank town set for demolition

Hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians marched Friday in support of a West Bank village slated for demolition, a plan they said epitomises the Israeli occupation.

The march in Susya, southeast of Hebron, took place on the anniversary of what the Palestinians call the Naksa (Setback), when Israel's occupation of the West Bank in the 1967 Six Day war displaced hundreds of thousands of people.

Israel's High Court ruled in May that Susya's 340 residents could be relocated and its structures demolished, which Human Rights Watch derided as "a grave breach" of Israel's obligations to the Palestinian populace under its military rule.
